Wow, I wonder what it is? Definitely pretty though, and not a JD. I agree it looks to have some Texas in it, but it's not a pure Texas....keep us updated with pics as he grows so we can figure out what he is!
Still a great looking fish, Syddakyd. Post pics of it again in a few months when it has grown...if you plan to keep it, of course. It may be a Texas/Jag mix.
